Interstitial Lung Disease Imaging

Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) imaging refers to the use of various imaging techniques, primarily chest X-rays and CT scans, to examine the lungs for abnormalities. ILD involves lung tissue inflammation and scarring, which can lead to breathing difficulties. Imaging helps doctors identify patterns of lung damage, such as thickening of the lung lining or the presence of fluid, which are crucial for diagnosing the type and severity of ILD. Accurate imaging is essential for guiding treatment options and monitoring disease progression in patients.
